Dawn Elizabeth Collins Ware

Our special angel went home to join our family in heaven on Thursday, March 21, 2024 unexpectedly at her home in Palm Bay, Florida leaving a void that will never be filled. Dawn Elizabeth Collins Ware was born on February 7, 1977 in Akron, Ohio moving to Florida in 2000. She lived a wonderful life. Dawn was only 47 years of age, 29 of those years married to TJ, the love of her life. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and grace. How lucky are we to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Dawn is preceded in death by her grandparents Grover and Gracie Collins, her uncle, Grover C. Collins JR (Bubby) and her dog, “Frosty”. She leaves behind to mourn her loss her loving husband, TJ Ware; beloved daughter, Taylor Hughes (Devon), cherished sons, Logan and Casey whom she loved dearly along with her dog, “Rocky”. Three beautiful grandchildren who she loved with all her heart, Taliyah, Amiyah, and DJ Hughes. They were a source of joy and strength throughout her life. Her mother and best friend who loved her more than life, Suzie Adkins and father, Dewey Adkins of Doylestown, Ohio. Special sisters, Tina Collins, Candy Kutscher, Belinda Collins, Diane Egli, Leslie Adkins, Evelyn Vesa; brothers, Bradley Bromelow (Diane) Robert Bromelow (Shyan) and Derek Adkins along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Only a moment she stayed, but what an imprint her footprints have left on our hearts. Dawn was such a loving and special person to all of us who had a great love for her children and grandchildren, a good peanut butter sandwich, Pepsi, ice cream sandwiches and smoking a good ole cigarette. She enjoyed watching a good Netflix movie, listening to music, taking baths, riding motorcycles with her husband and playing with her grandchildren. She was the best Grammie ever. Her spirit will live on forever in our hearts and she will be missed a lot by all the people she met in her lifetime. May her memory be a comfort and a blessing to all. What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Dawn’s funeral service will be held Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the Campfield-Hickman-Collier Funeral Home, 566 W. Park Ave., Barberton 44203 with Pastor Keith Emhoff officiating. Burial to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, April 3rd from 4 to 7 p.m. and also one hour prior to the service. Donations may be made to the funeral home to help with Dawn’s final expenses.
